Domaine Michel Delorme

Domaine Michel Delorme was founded in 1820 and is located in Vergisson, a very small traditionally winegrowing village in South Burgundy, 10 km from Mâcon and famous for its "Roche" (rock).

History

The monks from Cluny started the winegrowing tradition centuries ago.

The Domaine has been owned by the same family for generations. 17th century files with the name of Delorme were found mentioning the winegrowing activity.
